I would be getting to the vet NOW.

Thanks for the fast response. So far his behavior is normal, but pancreatitis hadn’t occurred to me. I will definitely keep an eye on him.

crate training is something i’d look into, as well.  if he cannot be trusted, then he should not have full access to your home.  i agree with Dr. Magnifico, he needs a lot more work from you to keep his boredom in check.

eventually he may get an obstruction if you allow this to continue.  obstructions are costly and can be fatal.  nip this in the bud NOW.

again: obedience training and crate training. the obedience training will help tire him out, the crate will keep him contained.

Also, any recommendations on dry itchy skin? I brush him daily and put canine omega 3 in him food which has helped a bit but not entirely.

I had a dog for 15 years, she Loved to chew apart a log or stick and this same sound of coughing would happen but only for a few hours, so I know thi IS a common problem. Thanks anyway.

Hi Charlotte, I’m also in the UK …we answer questions on here from a lot of countries.

This episode with Walter needs Veterinary attention. We cannot diagnose on here but this could be anything from a seizure to a mini stroke to something lacking in his blood/diet…..and needs professional assessment to find out what is going on. 

I hope Walter is ok and try to keep him calm and quiet until you can get him to a Vet later today hopefully. Good luck. 

That video is crazy I have never seen anything like that. Sounds like maybe the calcium tablets might help? I hope he gets better!

i BELIEVE gastroenteritis is something a dog can survive but you need to change his diet drastically.  what do you normally feed him?  have you asked your vet what food you should be feeding?

yesterday he has surgery for the stomac to see if he has eating a toy or something not good,and he find out he has gastroenteritis thanks to talk with me

thanks so much i wish his to come back home i love him so much and i miss him

i dont want him to die

I would get her to the vet. A persistent wet cough could be something related to heart problems.

Call your vet or the pet poison helpline NOW.

keep your puppy away from their yard and sidewalk until she’s fully vaccinated.
